UsWeekly is reporting that Nicole Richie is telling friends that she took Vicodin the night of her arrest for DUI, because of menstruation cramps. She told friends that she’s only taken it a couple times a month, because her cramps are so painful. A source said, “She knows she made a mistake, but overall she’s in a better place. She has come a long way from her heroin days.”
She’s also upset that the cops listed her weight as 85. Her friend said that she actually weighs 95lbs and has no idea where the cops came up with 85.
In the meanwhile, Nicole was recently photographed leaving her new beau Joel Madden's house.
